An approximately north to south curvilinear ditch is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The ditch does not correspond with any features depicted on historic maps. The ditch adjoins a road depicted on the Tithe Map at its northern end and adjoins a yard surrounding by buildings recorded as a house and offices (Plot 1392) at its southern end, associated with the now demolished Sidbury House. Part of the southern end corresponds with the boundary of the yard. The ditch traverses through a recorded orchard (Plot 1391). The house and offices have been removed by the late-19th century. The ditch is interpreted as a former trackway or road of medieval to post-medieval origin, that passed out of use prior to circa 1840.
